Three children.

Three ASD diagnoses.

Along with other peripheral diagnoses.... ADHD for DS2, BOR syndrome for DD. Severe hypermobility for DS2 and DD.

Why can't my children get a frickin' break???

Sorry, haven't got any helpful words to say, but didn't want to read and leave.

You poor thing, sounds really stressful Have the diagnosises been quite close together as well?

DS1 was three years ago. DS2 was two and a half years ago and DD was two days ago.

Also in the last month DS2 got his ADHD diagnosis and DD has had a cardiac problem identified that needs surgery.

Oh joy unconfined. And now our bloody car has broken down and will cost god knows how much to fix.

Hi, i know how you feel, dd1 was diagnosed with AS lasy year, dd2 with ASD this summer and i have a step son with possible ADHD.

Also got car problems, failed the MOT and too much money to fix it.

On the bright side, its x-mas next week and we shall have fun and enjoy ourselves .

I don't know how it feels Glittery I have 1 with asd/adhd (ds2) but am beginning to wonder if dd3 doesn't have adhd as well.

Sending an unmumsnet hug - it's a lot to take on board.

We also have car trouble, needs 2 new front tyres and just had to order oil for heating it doesn't help that I buggered up my finances this month x

Welcome to the madhouse!! I have uncontrolled epilepsy, DD 11yo is asd, epilepsy, partial deafness, cardiac probs, hypermobility syndrome, GDD. DS1 7yo was always the 'easy' one with no medical probs...., DS2 6yo is asd, chronic asthma, hympermobility syndrome, hypotonia, GDD. Then in April this year, DS1 was dxd coeliac...so much for 'easy'....I count myself lucky now if I take the correct child to see the correct doctor on the correct day . Really hope you can get through it all, I've developed a rather 'black' humour on it all after a few years of it....
